Lac Mademoiselle-Simone Fishing in Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Quebec

• Overview

  Lac Mademoiselle-Simone is one of the Abitibi-Témiscamingue listings for Quebec. It lies 468 metres above sea level. About 8 hectares of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Start from Leblanc, 108 km down the road. Senneterre follows at 115 km, then Manawan at 140 km. Close by you also have: Petit lac Alfred within 0.7 km, Lac Alfred at 1.2 km, Lac du Chien within 1.7 km, Lac Bingo at 1.9 km and Lac Sport within 2.7 km. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Lac Mademoiselle-Simone

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Public occurrence data for Abitibi-Témiscamingue names northern pike, yellow perch, walleye and white sucker. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Lac Mademoiselle-Simone the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -18°C in January up to 16°C in July. Long winters and short summers set the pattern. Break-up comes around early May, and the run that follows is short and strong. Average temperatures cross freezing around early May in spring and again near mid November in autumn. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Mademoiselle-Simone.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Petit lac Alfred, 0.7 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat access at Lac Mademoiselle-Simone as something to verify.
